Greetings. I'm planning to update the Debian package for diffutils. The current patches are here:
http://sources.debian.net/src/diffutils/1:3.3-3/debian/patches/ Clearly, these four: 01-workaround-for-failing-gnulib-test 03-tune-compare-names-for-qsort 04-add-escapes-for-braces-in-perl-regex 99-config-guess-config-sub are not required anymore. But I'm in doubt about this one: 02-fix-mkdir-p-definition-in-po-makefile-in-in because it would apply cleanly to diffutils-3.5 if I keep it. The problem such patch was supposed to fix was this one: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-diffutils/2013-08/msg00010.html and apparently the patch is not needed anymore. So, to be sure: Would somebody know why the patch was required in diffutils-3.3 and not anymore in diffutils-3.5? Thanks.
